Part 1 of Sarah + Rupert's fabulous Mackinac Island wedding. Part two of their day after photoshoot at the Grand Hotel is next!
They got married on one of those cold, rainy days last summer, but it was still fantastic. They held their wedding at the The Inn at Stonecliffe on Mackinac Island. An epic place for a wedding if you ask me. Their wedding was just featured on Style Me Pretty a few months back and you can view it here.
Dress: La Fluer by Ann Barge
Venue: Inn at Stonecliffe, Mackinac Island













































Check back tomorrow for Part two with all their amazing day after images at the Grand Hotel!

(04.28.10 @ 10:46 AM)Love this wedding! I can't say enough warm and fuzzies about the 'veil-almost kiss' shot. Awesome!
(04.30.10 @ 05:04 PM)Wow. I LOVE these images!!! The light was so beautiful and you did a fabulous job capturing it. Amazing job! What a sweet, sweet wedding

So excited for this to be featured in the next issue of Brides Magazine!
(07.16.10 @ 07:02 PM)Jessica...I'm in awe right now. I found your work entirely by accident, but couldn't have been more excited to do so. Evey shot is filled with emotion and passion. The veil and kiss shot like Courtney mentioned is truly one of the best kiss shots/series I've ever seen. The bride and groom were lucky to have you, and they will love every images for years! Awesome!
(07.24.10 @ 02:32 PM)Incredible work, Jessica! The fashion in this wedding is TDF! Love, love, love.

A few images at the DIA from Joanna's Bridal session shortly before the wedding. So fun!








What an absolutely amazing venue, beautiful couple, and fantastic details. Congrats to the new couple!
(01.26.10 @ 10:39 PM)To me, there is no better Detroit venue than the DIA. It's been my favorite place in the motor city since the first time I went there at 6 years old. Though, I do also love weddings at the Henry Ford. But these images just show what a truly ROCKIN venue the DIA is. I enjoyed looking through these soo much Jessica and your talent is simply awe inspiring. These images are incredibly beautiful (and not just because of the venue)!!
(01.26.10 @ 10:42 PM)my favorite part - besides all the AMAZING images - are the pics on the screens at the ceremony... i'm assuming you took those. SO fun!!!
(01.27.10 @ 01:01 AM)amazing! quite possibly my favorite ever. So nice to see areas of the DIA that you don't usually get a chance to use on a normal shoot. Just breathtaking really! And I agree with Ryan, the shot on the screens during the ceremony was such a personal, one of a kind detail. xoxo
(01.27.10 @ 03:59 AM)I love the last two bridal portraits! She looks so happy and you captured it beautifully!
(01.28.10 @ 04:34 PM)those bridal party shots are sensational!
(02.03.10 @ 04:55 AM)Hello! I love this photoshoot in a museum!!!
